I inadvertently learned the best way to fill up one's inbox with lots of mail from well-meaning, but perhaps slightly strange individuals. Step 1: clean out your garage. Step 2: find lots of still decent stuff that you have no use for. Step 3: go onto Craigslist. Step 4: post this list of stuff and note that it's all sitting in your driveway, and can be had for free.
I completely and totally underestimated Austinites' love of free bikes.
What's slightly interesting is that I posted that ad earlier this afternoon, I answered roughly 30 emails on this free crap, and I actually have no idea whether anyone has picked up the stuff or not. It's at the old house and I've reached the stage of the moving process where, when it comes to all of that crap that's still there, I don't care if it's stolen, it's traded for drugs, or it's dismantled and then reassembled into weapons to be used against the elderly. Moochers of the world, unite and take that crap!
In other news, all is well at the new and improved Powell Manor. In my opinion, it's not a home until I've watched Lebowski in it and I crossed that off of my to-do list on Saturday.
